Charley Keller 1$ , Back With Yankees Chicago. Aug. 20 —(UP)—Charley (King Kong) Keller was back in the New York Yankees lineup to day as manager Joe McCarthy attempted to rally his faltering team. Keller, one of the leading sluggers of the Yankees’ former "Murder’s row," played his first game yesterday since being discharged from the merchant Marines last week. The powerfully-built, 28-year-old outfielder had worked out only twice since doffing his service uniform, but he rapped out a line ; single for the five hits the Yan-j kees made while losing the second j game of yesterday’s doubleheader, 2-0. Keller, in the service for almost two years, said before the game that he “hadn’t even thrown a ball" until a couple of days ago. addmg that he thought he'd be ready to play again in a couple of weeks. McCarthy, however, wasted no time in putting Keller back into his old left field spot in the hope that some prewar long-distance hitting will lift his Yankees out ol' sixth place. o— — “7 i Today's Sports Parade . By Carl Lundquist | Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) | O — 0 New York, Aug. 20—(UP)— An official eastern ivy league comprising from eight to 10 colleges is in the formative stage and may be ready to do business by the time the 1946 football season rolls; around, the boys along the pigskin pipeline insisted today. Practically all of the schools that would be involved are in favor of the idea. It would bind the east—the only section of the country where the colleges have no official league —into a regular organization. There even have been some reports that the league might spring into operation this season with standings to be based on the i games previously scheduled, but ; there was little chance that the j machinery could be set up that quickly. i The teams which would make : up the circuit are the “big three' I ivy leagues, Yale, Harvard and j Princeton, and Pennsylvania, Cornell. Dartmouth and Columbia. Three others, Brown, Army and Navy are regarded as probable members. If the league became a seven or eight team circuit, a round-robin schedule of football and a double | round-robin of basketball games would be played. That would permit the scheduling of two or three outside or intersectional games for a well-balanced schedule.’ However, ft "the* league became a 10-member circuit, the schedule would be more flexible with teams maintaining league status by playing as few as five games. Army and navy would be welcomed into the fold, but only if they agreed to revert to threeyear eligibility rules. Otherwise, the service academies would have a distinct advantage over the others, which maintain the strictest eligibility standards of any section of the country. Although work has been underway for some time, "differences of opinion” have held up completion of the league according to Asa S. Bushnell, commissioner of eastern intercollegiate football. "The immediate prospects for tlie league are no better than in recent years,” he said last night. "However, there are no serious objections to it! It is just that the people who would have to get together to do the job haven’t been able to reach agreement.” "There has been a general feeling that without such a close-knit organization, the teams pave all the advantages of a league without any of the disadvantages,” Bushnell said. "However, I could r be wrong and the establishment r of such a league might come sooner than expected.” > Yale pioneered the idea of an , ivy league in 1934 when after , several years of heavy losses, the . school officials decided to con- ; centrate their play in the east. . They played seven out of eight games with so-called ivy colleges ■ that year and have had a heavy percentage of such contests on their schedules since then. o LEADING BATSMEN National League Player, Club G.

Bomber Spreads DDT Over Stricken City Experiment Tried To Halt Polio Epidemic Rockford. 111.. Aug. 20—(UP)— Cool-headed scientists and fearstricken citizens waited anxiously today for the outcome of an experiment which converted DDT, ; powerful wartime insecticide, to ■ a peacetime "mercy" duty in the | ! battle against infantile paralysis. | A specially-equipped B-25 bombI er spread DDT from the air yeslerday in a desperate effort to ■ halt the epidemic of poliomyelitis j which already has killed 17 per- | sons here. A total of 148 infan- j tile paralysis cases have been ! reported in the Rockford metropolitan section since July 1. ; It was hoped that by using the insecticide -most powerful developed >— scientists could determine whether or not the polio virus is carried by the common house fly. It also was a mercy mission for the powerful plane, brought here from Ihe Canal zone especially for the experiment. The great olive-drab B-25 plane, one of two equipped with the spraying devices, roared low over the roof tops of Rockford from Truax Field. Madison, Wis., spraying the city with 1,650 gallons of the miracle insecticide. The experiment—and it is admittedly only that—was conducted by the army and the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly-: sis on the theory that DDT would kill flies, believed to be carriers of the polio virus. By eliminating flies and the breeding places of | flies, experimenters believed they could halt the spread of the disease. The experimental nature of the test was emphasized by Dr. John R. Paul, Yale university poiiomy- , elitis authority, here to supervise the test. , Dr. Paul said that the city had t been divided into two areas, only one of which was treated with the DDT. The unsprayed area, the t said, would be compared with the I uncontrolled area to determine the effectiveness of the insect .. killer. I The plane thundered over the city at a height of only 150 feet on its first run at 1 p. m. yestere day. Working methodically back and forth, it criss-crossed the city II at a speed in excess of 200 miles r per hour, then returned to its e temporary base at Truax Field for b "refueling.” In all, it made three runs, re- ' leasing 550 gallons on each trip. * o y n Purdue To Maintain Fort Wayne Division Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 20 —(UP) —Purdue University announced toA day that Fort Wayne had been 0 named as one of the five areas in 3 the state where the university will 5 main'atn a technical extension division. 3 The courses available in Fort 6 Wayne will include the entire cur--8 ricula of the technical institute. The new division, created by the trustees in July, will operate in Indianapolis, Hammond and the Calumet area and Muncie.

Si. Louis Papers Strike Continues St. Louis, Mo.. Aug. 20—(UP) — Publishers of three St. Louis newspapers, closed by a strike of car riens, offered today to bargain collectively with the carriers as employes hut warned that if the union accepts employes status they “inevitably destroy their own investments.” The union later rejected the proposal and drew up another for submission to the publishers later in the day. The carriers struck last Thursday and the newspapers—the Starj Times, the Post-Dispatch and the I Globe-Democrat —suspended publiI cation at the same time notifying ! editorial and other employes that their services were not needed for the duration of the stdike. The union asked that the newspapers bargain with its members as Employes. The newspapers contended that the carriers were independent contractors under the Wagner I-kG bor act. The National Labor Relations board held the carriers were employes. The offer to bargain was sent >o W. Gibbons, chairman of a conciliation made up of representatives of four unions, and pointed out

i that the newspapers could not bar- , gain with the carriers as merchants "because that is plainly a violation of ij’ate and federal laws" the offer to bargain with the carriers as employes carried the warning that such procedure would ' jeopardize the investments the carriers have in their routes. The newspapers’ offer said the carriers .if they bargain as employee must accept “the position of their own counsel which was the basis of the Labor Board decision holding them to be employes. The board decision was quoted in the statement I as holding that the carrier’s route | i contracts "do not provide any seI curity . . . the relationship is one I which can be completely severed : at the will of the company.” ■ I The offer ended with the publish- > i ers request that the conciliation > j committee “ask the pressmen and > I flymen to return to work so that • other employes can return and the t public can have their newspapers.” O ■ Indiana Schools To • ’ Continue Bond Sales tv ————— Indianapolis, Aug. 20 —(UP) —In- , diana war finance committee officiaks announced today that war r stamp and bond programs wrnuld be continued at Hoosier schools ; through the Spring of 1946. “We finish the job” citations and insignia will be presented to schools which maintain their 90 percent buying record, Robert N.

Mother Held Alter Smothering Child Held For Slaying 19-Months-Old Son Chicago. Aug. 20—(UP)—Mrs. i Anne Zygula. 32. was held at the Cook county psychopathic hospital today after smothering her 19-months-old son to death and then attempting <o strangle herself. ••1 just killed him," she told assistant state’s attorney John Philip Reed. "I loved my baby and I killed him." Police said that Mrs. Zygula. estranged from her husband, Louis, a truck driver, had telephoned her sister, Patricia Piszyk, 24. last night to "come over : quick. I’ve smothered the baby.” When Miss Piszyk and the girls’ father, Peter. arrived, Mrs. Zygula met them at the door, sobbing and trying to strangle herself with a necktie. She pleaded with them to draw it tighter. Miss Piszyk said her sister had been disconsolate since her separation last May from her husband, following his discharge from the coast guard. Zygula told police he had attempted a reconciliation last Friday 'but failed.
